18" vs 19s"

been focusing on tracking the car more lately and been thinking about getting some track only tires/wheels and just wanted to see what you guys thought about sizes and pricing of tires


18s vs 19s? also i see most camaro guys go with apex but why arent more people going with bcforged or titan 7?

I chose the 19s over 18s only due to the fact I want ZL1 brakes in the future.

I would say the price point is why you see more apex wheels over BcForged, I do like the titan 7 wheels too

I have two sets of BC Forged in 19" for my ZLE and I love them! I run the OE 3R's (ZLE) but if/when I move to slicks I think I'll go down to 18".

If the ctsv rotors is same as 1le I think apex makes a 18 that will fit.

If rotor is same size as zl1/E the apex 18s won't fit

I would figure out what tires you want to run and then decide on wheels.

For me I mostly decided on 19's because Apex offers 19x11 square in the perfect offset. If I did 18's I'm not sure if anybody offers that or if I would need to do custom.

I actually haven't gotten them yet, Apex was backordered. So far have just been using stock wheels and tires. Next year I'll have feedback. Planning on 305 square yeah.
